Yesterday, following the BJP's withdrawal, the PDP's Mehbooba Mufti the previous day submitted her resignation as Jammu and Kashmir chief minister to governor Vohra. Then, past due the previous day night time, after concluding his consultations with all the major political events in the state, governor Vohra forwarded his report to the President of India for imposition of governor’s rule underneath Section 92 of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir.
The BJP pulled out the alliance announcing it was "untenable" to continue.
"It has become untenable for the BJP to continue its alliance government in Jammu and Kashmir, hence we are withdrawing," BJP normal secretary Ram Madhav said at a press conference this afternoon.
With J&Okay having a provision for governor’s rule for six months, the BJP leadership is keen to let this period run as as regards to the tip of 2018 as conceivable. The calculation is that if the six months resulted in December, it would be too as regards to the Lok Sabha elections to be scheduled ahead of the nationwide polls. The electoral process for the Lok Sabha is predicted to begin to unroll from March onward.
Sources instructed TOI that governor’s rule — which is specific to J&Okay — could be adopted by means of President’s rule and this may also extend the assembly election. But the conversion of governor’s rule to President’s rule would want ratification by means of Parliament
